The Radicals have repeatedly said they would urge Serbia's military intervention in Kosovo if the majority ethnic Albanian-populated province becomes independent.

I think Serbia was wronged by the West, but I think it is wrong here. Let'em go if they want to go. Just as I would not object to New England seceding from the US.

Kosovo is what was Serbias Holy Center before Muslims invaded.

Would you give Texas to the Mexicans?

The parallel is not as close as it appears. Kosovo's muslim population percentage today is the result of two factors that have ensured that the region has become separatist.

1. Kosovar muslim terrorists have been waging a campaign to forcefully drive Serb residents out of the region for almost a century, and they've done so with an unfortunately high success. The two biggest waves of Serb migration out of Kosovo were in World War II when Hitler invaded and the muslims sided with him, and in 1999 when Clinton invaded and the muslims sided with him. Hitler murdered tens of thousands of Kosovar Serbs in his concentration camps, and drove hundreds of thousands of them into Serbia. Clinton's war produced another 100,000 Serb exodus in its wake.

2. Since the Serb exodus of the region, Albanians from Albania proper have flooded the region and snatched up former Serb land.

The result is that Kosovo is about 95% muslim today. But it wasn't always like that, and in fact it didn't become that lopsided until very recently in history. It has always had muslim majority regions since they invaded in the 1400's, but it used to also have Serb regions.

A better analogy to New England seceding would be to imagine if all the Hispanic inhabitants of New Mexico started terror attacking the Anglos, pushing them north into Colorado, opening the border to let more Mexicans in to bolster their ranks, and then petitioned the UN to replace the state with the new nation of Aztlan.
